Description

On Ubuntu there are many many printer drivers on the distribution by default because of the package gutenprint . SuSe has this package in the Repos, but not default. When I tried to set up my printer, nothing but the generic driver was found, but I manually installed gutenprint after 3 hours of searching on Google, and the Driver was there. gutenprint should be there by default.

The gutenprint drivers were installed by default on my opensuse installation, which was a DVD installation.
Maybe it's because you installed from the KDE or GNOME LiveCD? There is of course limited space on those CDs, the developers have a lot of trouble squeezing in a package mix to please everybody.

However, even if the drivers weren't installed it doesn't take 3 hours of googling and a manual install - just open the opensuse software installer in YAST, type gutenprint and click install.

The request "Fix Printing in SuSe by Having gutenprint" does not make sense because we provide GimpPrint/Gutenprint "since ever".
